Not much to learn here, just my 5 cents about Nissan dealership fees.

Needed to install rear coil bumpers in pathfinder 02.
Dealer wanted $260
My mechanic did for $20 (+$5 tip ;) )


$260 for a 15 min labor? Please Nissan get real!!!

Hey, c'mon now...
You know it's about $150/hr labor rate charge.

Maybe 30minutes to retrieve the paperwork from the queue.
another 15minutes to read the work needed
10min bathrroom break
another 15minutes to re-read the work request
and then 15minutes to do the job :D
JK. ;)

It sucks, but sometimes the simpler jobs are better left to the private shops. So far, the only reason I've taken my Q to the dealership was to order parts, and to get a key cut and programmed :D
However, I've never owned a brand new car before, so I've never been obligated to take my car to the dealerships.
